Javi Martinez would be amazing. 25, uncompromising DM, ball player and can also play center back.

[Alfred C. Jolibois, PhD]

If we can also get Serge Aurier as all accounts suggest and if we keep TV5 as we should, team already looking much stronger than this year, with Theo back and refreshed.

Also: can we really find another striker that will *guarantee* us 22+ goals next season(with more to come in the last two games, I am sure), can play alone upfront linking up with runners in the physical PL as Olivier has done this year? Remember that Theo also scored 21 the year before, when not injured. With the Theo and Aaron fit, Ox emerging, Ozil at the helm, and Santi, Pod, Thomas, Jack, Arteta, Flam, etc. as useful players in reserve, I would say (controversially on this board, I suspect) that all we may need if we get Martinez and Aurier is adequate cover (not a replacement) for Giroud.

(I would just keep Viviano: 6 caps for Italy for a number 2. What more do we want, really?)

Wenger is only going to get a couple players, let's face it. Splashing big on Javi fits what we did for Ozil.

Welcome to the new Arsenal...

f**k all. Paul Robinson has 41 caps for England, but he's still ****. Having caps at international level is not an indicator of how good someone is.

Viviano would also cost money, so when there are options which are free i'm sure they make much more sense when you're talking about a no.2 goalkeeper (see Kasper Schmeichel).

As for Martinez, forget it. We're not spending ¤35-40m on a defensive midfielder.

EA knows.

I suspect the big buy of the summer will be in attack. Not another CF though. Probably a wide raider like Griezmann or Pedro. If he won't pay up for those two, then he'll grab Vela back for £4M. Bit of house keeping in defence (new RB, cover CB) and that'll be about it.
